From live page to edit form in one click

Most CMS users waste time hunting for content in the back end. Click-to-edit closes that gap, and it’s the kind of feature your team will use a dozen times a day without thinking about it. Here is how it works:

Step 1: Open any live page
Browse your site as your audience sees it. No special preview mode or developer setup required.

Step 2: Click “Edit in Brightspot” button
Click the button in the extension or the element you want to edit. The Brightspot Toolkit automatically detects the content. No manual attribute tagging or configuration needed.

Step 3: Land directly in the CMS
The toolkit takes you to the content edit form. Make your change, publish and move on.
